That is complete nonsense.... If anything (based on every source I've visited and based on demos I've heard) the synth excels at creating very spacey , digital sounding moving pads and other very unique sounds... Brass? Im not sur if you guys are talking bout the right synth. Anyhow thanks for your input - here's a demo vid I found of the sort of sounds I plan to create

It is. I have (2) rack Fizmos and I use them for simultaneous dubstep wobbles and hard trance leads. You know, "Vengeance" stuff. The fizmo was also used by tiesto and scooter for those anthemic "hands up" stabs. Virus TI, eat your heart out.

Alright - but when I said nonsense I was referring to when you said that was ALL that it was good for. No hostility here sorry if you misinterpreted my statement.

Did you get the keyboard version or the rack version? Seems like this synth could keep anyone up for weeks. I would definetly check out the arpeggiator, since there's over a hundred patterns and they are all editable. Not too many synths come with editable preset arp patterns, or 8 LFOs and noise for each OSC for that matter.

Ensoniq is really cool, I've been exploring their synths alot lately after seeing/hearing what Skinny Puppy did with the ESQ1. When I was into symphonic black metal one of my favorite bands used a Ensoniq SD as their main synth on their first album.

Keyboard version - I just like programMing sounds on keys better - and with this synth I plan to program for hours.

Maybe we need a "I just bought a synth, tell me what to do with it" emoticon.

Anyways, find the Sounddiver editor, it's the only way you can get at some of the envelope controls, FX controls (the FX are pretty awesome), etc. To me, the Fizmo was like a Nord Modular - somewhat editable away from the computer, but had much more gratifying control through the GUI. I miss mine from time to time, but it was such a red headed stepchild, it was a bit much most of the time. And that f**k tiny display...

I do indeed own sounddiver - I know that I can choose from a lot of synths on the sounddiver install menu - if I just navigate to the Fizmo, will that Make me able to do the things you speak of? I haven't really used sounddiver much other than to store patches for the Jp and the an1x

Not sure, I just had the Sounddiver editor specific to the Fizmo. Why not try it and tell us?
